Egyptian Poem - King Tut
I composed the following poem, inspired by the popular Egyptian revival songs of the 1920s which were themselves inspired by the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb:
He married young
Under the Egyptian Sun
The boy king
For whom we sing
A figure of mystery
Most famous in history
Cut down in his prime
Immortalised in rhyme
Carter found the tomb
Tut’s resting room
Full of gold
Objects so very Old
King Tut
King Tut
He’s our hero
Oh Oh
King Tut
King Tut
